This initiative was embodied as part of the interprofessional 2007-2008 agreement which reprimands social partners’ will to work towards more wage equality by asking companies to evaluate their wage categorization in terms of gender neutrality and to make, if need arises, the necessary changes. The “no-sexism ‘check list’” in the evolution and the categorization of functions” is an additional tool to help companies realize a diagnosis from a series of questions (see attached file).
